Count by 561 (Skip Counting by 561s)

Count by 561

Here we will show you how to count by 561, discuss counting by 561 patterns, and tell you why knowing how to count by 561 matters. To start off, note that Count by 561 means counting in 561s, or count by five hundred sixty-ones, and it is also called skip counting by 561.

How to count by 561
Normally, we would count by 1 like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but when we count by 561, we count 561, 1122, 1683, 2244, and so on.

In other words, to count in intervals of 561 or skip counting by 561, we start with 561 and then add 561 to get the next number, and then continue adding 561 to the previous number to keep counting by 561, like this:

561
561 + 561 = 1122
1122 + 561 = 1683
1683 + 561 = 2244
2244 + 561 = 2805
...

You can of course skip count by 561 forever, so it is impossible to make a list of all numbers, but below is a Count by 561 Chart of the first 100 numbers to get you started.

Looking at the chart above, you will see that the first column has the first ten numbers you get when you skip count by 561, the second column has the next ten numbers you get when you skip count by 561, and so forth.

Count by 561 Patterns
We organized the Skip Counting by 561s Chart above in 10 rows and 10 columns so you can easily identify patterns.

Skip counting always creates patterns. Figuring out these patterns may help you if want to count by 561, but don't have the Counting by 561s Chart above. Obviously, one pattern with counting by 561s is that the number increases by 561.

Furthermore, if you look at each row above, each number in the row has the same last digit (ones place). That means that every tenth number has the same last digit.

If you look down the columns, you will see that the last digit (ones place) repeats itself in blocks of 10 over and over. The pattern of the last digit when you count by 561 goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and so on for as long as you count by 561.

Why Count by 561?
We think that understanding and learning about skip counting by 561 is important, because it teaches you how the arithmetic operations fit together. Below are some examples of what we mean.

When you count by five hundred sixty-one, you are also creating a list of multiples of 561 that you can use in math when you need the least common multiple. 561 times n equals the nth multiple or skip count of 561.

When you skip count by 561, you are also creating a list of numbers that 561 is divisible by. On top of that, skip counting by 561 is the same as making the 561 times table.
